I love the BEENS acronym, which I will definitely use as a teaching tool for my little ones. I found that my kids stay protected the most when they think their protection is fun, so I get them bright sun hats and crazy UV protected novelty sunglasses , like American flag patterned ones for the fourth. Thanks for the tips!
